Energetic Attraction

From an interesting article by Robert Burney:

Energetic attraction between two individuals is metaphysical. "Metaphysical means beyond the physical - that is beyond the concrete three-dimensional reality that we experience, that can be seen and measured. One of the reasons that emotions have been so discounted in Western Civilization has been because it is not possible to take an x-ray and see that we have unresolved grief from the past that is knocking our system out of balance and causing us to be depressed. Emotions have also been discounted in Eastern Civilization although the Eastern approach to medicine and science is much more Holistic in general and does acknowledges the existence of energies of a metaphysical nature."

"There is literal vibrational Truth to such expressions as being "on the same wave length" with someone. There are people whom one has a closer vibrational relationship to than other people - people who one can feel closer and more connected to within a few hours of meeting them than one does to people one has known his or her whole life. The people one connects with in these ways are Kindred Spirits, and they are members of what could be called our vibrational tribe or stream. A few of those Kindred Spirits are soul mates. In addition, we all have a twin soul - we have been separated from because of the condition of polarity that has so dictated the human condition for tens of thousands of years."

"The Truth is that someone can feel familiar in a way that recreates our wounding with our parents / patterns - and be a soul mate also. In fact, it is inevitable that when one does meet someone who is one`s soul mate - or even more powerfully one`s twin soul - there will be "Karma" to settle."

"In a disease defense system one builds up huge walls to protect oneself and then - as soon as one meets someone who will help to repeat the patterns of abuse, abandonment, betrayal, and/or deprivation - one lowers the drawbridge and invites them in. In the codependency, each of us have radar systems which cause us to be attracted to, and attract to us, the people, who for us personally, are exactly the most untrustworthy (or unavailable or smothering or abusive or whatever we need to repeat our patterns) individuals - exactly the ones who will "push our buttons", or in other words activate our "pain body".

This happens because those people feel familiar. Unfortunately in childhood the people whom we trusted the most - were the most familiar - hurt us the most. So the effect is that we keep repeating our patterns and being given the reminder that it is not safe to trust ourselves or other people."

"Western Civilization (in reaction to earlier ages when it was out of balance to the other extreme of allowing superstition to rule) does not acknowledge that multiple levels of reality exist and as a result, has been way out of balance towards the left brain way of thinking - rational, logical, concrete, what you see is all there is. Because emotional energy could not be seen or measured or weighed, and was not sanctioned by the AMA, emotions were discounted and devalued."

"It is because there is more than one level of reality that life is paradoxical in nature. What is True and positive on one level - selfishness out of Spiritual Self, that is actually self love from being conscious, can be negative on another level - selfishness out of ego-self. What a caterpillar calls the end of the world, God calls a butterfly. Humans have always had expressions that describe the paradoxical nature of the life experience. Every ending is a beginning. Every cloud does have a silver lining. For every door that closes, another door does open. It is always darkest before the dawn. Every obstacle is a gift, every problem is an opportunity for growth.

These are all expressions that refer to the paradoxical nature of life - the seeming contradictions that are a result of the multiple levels of reality. When we start to understand and recognize that there are multiple levels of reality, then we can begin to unravel the paradox and see how all of the pieces fit together perfectly."

"What is to be found is that in many instances even though the levels that one can see, that one is conscious of, are mostly dysfunctional - arising out of the false beliefs and fears of the disease of codependency - on deeper levels there are "right on" reasons for behaviors for which one was judging oneself, the areas of one`s life in which one is unconscious of, or unaware. And on a much deeper level an individual can come to understand that one is - and has been, ever since polarization - looking for one`s twin soul."

There are always multiple levels of reality, of vibrational energy dynamics, involved in this human experience we are having. It is vital to start seeing one`s own internal dynamics more clearly in order to start practicing discernment in one`s relationships. The Truth is that someone can feel familiar in a way that recreates one`s wounding with our parents / patterns and be a soul mate also. In fact, it is inevitable that when one does meet someone who is our soul mate, or even more powerfully the twin soul, there will be an opportunity of healing our emotional wounds through becoming conscious, or aware of one`s own emotional wounds ("the pain body") and the healing necessary for a harmonious relationship, with the responsibility of one`s own energy that one brings in to it. What it does mean is, that we have been given an incredibly wonderful, immensely valuable, probably excruciatingly painful at times, opportunity for emotional healing, Spiritual growth, and "Karmic" settlement.

It is very important to be paying attention to the lessons being presented, to make the most of the opportunity that can potentially be the greatest, most sublime gift one have ever received on the path of life. Working through the issues involved one can go to a level of emotional intimacy, of opening of hearts to loving and being loved. A union of two beings in body with such an energetic connection creates an transcendent energetic connection with The Source more powerful than any single being can access individually.
